+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #228155 +++

Hi,

it's the first time for me reporting a bug, so please be patient with me ;-)
I'm using

sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r3  USE="X acpi consolekit crypt policykit -apm -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -laptop (-selinux)"

on 2.6.29-gentoo-r1 (x86_64)

and starting hal results in

# /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no

*** [DIE] hald_runner.c:runner_died():202 : Runner died

As I'm not sure I should really post the complete --verbose=yes log (it's 2.6MB!!) I will try to present the most peculiar things:

# grep -i error hald-log

# grep -i warn hal-verbose.log
(no output)

So as my Computer is not a Laptop, I didn't enable battery in the kernel, the directory /proc/acpi/button contains only a directory 'power', 'fan' doesn't exist either.

I'm not sure if this is really the critical point or if the best hint is the message

hald_runner.c:671: Error running 'hald-addon-storage': org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received

which I can't do anything with it.
The mentioned bug 228155 states the acpi issue is solved, but why does it still log them as an error? If hal tries to open those files and takes those opening failures just as an information, going on without major problems, IMHO those opening failures should be stated as information or warning only, not as an error.


So any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Ups, this bug was listed twice. Must be a bug ;-) Sorry for that.
